I know this from my own experience and seeing it work with other people just reinforces it. I can't tell you enough about what writing has done for me. It helped me get over stuff, find new stuff and it continues to help me reach my full potential. I try to write in a journal every night... like clock work. It's been life changing — literally.
Has writing helped you?
Yes. I keep a journal on penzu.com (the website keeps it private, unless I want to share) and I can make entries from my cell, via email, or my comp.
ReplyDeletejournaling's a nice break from all the restrictions of journalism classes and what not too.
I totally agree!! I enjoy writing about my fitness journey and the trials & tribulations I go thru and instantly I feel better b/c I've gotten everything off my chest
ReplyDeleteWriting has definitely been cathartic for me. I've even gotten up in the middle of the night if I can't sleep. When too much time passes where I dont journal, all the stress eats me up. I started at age 16, and still at twenty years later.
ReplyDeleteI use to write in a journal everyday before college....your article made me realize how much I miss writing!! I will invest in a nice journal to start writing and mediating with again...thanks for the encouragement!!!
ReplyDeleteIt keeps me sane....I'm the mother of a 5 yr old Autistic little boy and this has definitely been one roller coaster ride...I go from blogging to plugging away in an old school journal.....definitely helps.
